[He didn't pursue Silco, letting the other man give ground physically. That had been much of their dynamic for many years, and once he remembered being the protective physical force and using his body to allow Silco to slide in and out of combat with a knife when they engaged. And he knew he used his physical body to contain the situation; it was a habit he was aware of.
Yet, his arms remained raised and resting his forearms on the wall above Silco's head. He had to do so to keep his weight leaned forward otherwise he might simply slip right off the slim thighs and knobby knees that he was sitting upon.]
My hands are above you and not touching you. That's what I'll give you, nothing more, nothing less.
[He shrugged his shoulders at the sneered words. When he had been high on Shimmer, there had been considerable assaults on his back and front, but it had healed immediately. He knew Silco could damage him, and he had not questioned why he didn't particularly care about it. The older man was by far one of the largest threats in any room.
He huffed, carefully dropping one hand to grasp his cigarette so he could tap off ash on the floor before returning it to his lips. All the while, he continued to watch Silco.]
I've spent a lot of years with you at my back. I miss that, even if I know it's never possible to have it back.
[And that was his honesty. He glanced at his pinky to see if it was enough to free him at least from the one curse. He still unfortunately wouldn't be able to be apart from Silco with the magnetic physical barrier. One down and they could wait out the other.]
